    So kraft can sell cheese that legally can’t even be called cheese because it’s so trash

      You’re thinking of other processed cheese products, American cheese is just cheddar or colby mixed with a little sodium citrate as an emulsifier. It’s basically easily and uniformly meltable mild cheddar and is definitely cheese

      Kraft American cheese is extremely different from (and worse than) deli American cheese.
